The shooter is apparently alive. A Secret Service officer was shot. But his vest protected him and he is fine. To the credit of the correspondent audience, they are subdued and respectful. I would like to see a lot more of that. It probably helps that many of Trump's critics were at the dinner and their own lives were at risk. That is sobering

Democrats are extremely violent people. They are the party of hate, division, racists, criminals.

Wish I was wrong but it’s proven EVERY day.

And prodded on by the Southern Poverty Law Center, who has been calling everything that moves a racist Nazi for years.

Absolutely correct. The far Left embraces violence. One of their patron saints and a key mentor of Barack Obama, Saul Alinsky, embraces violence. Black Panthers, the Weathermen, Symbionese Liberation Army, Louis Farrakhan all liberals and all violent. Hasan Piker is on the record claiming change requires violence. So, expect a lot more of this from the Left.

Hasan Piker is the new darling boy of the radical left. He’s in head to head competition with Boy Mayor Mamdani.

And the party of slavery.

Well since we all believe in US Constitution and Bill of Rights we can’t stoop to the horrible levels of the so-called progressives. At the moment we can’t assume it was a piece of garbage who was a Democrat. Can speak out about their divisive and hate filled speech but need to hold off on what the sub creature was.

Kaitlin Collins is an idiot, “do you think this was politically motivated?”

Heyjude's avatar

And “do you believe you were the target?” As if maybe the heroic reporters were the actual target.

Marcos Amine's avatar

Yeah like she was the target. Kaitlin, he donated to your preferred candidate, what do you think?

Mark Emerson's avatar

Never seen before anchors, news personalities and reporters reporting in tuxes and nice dresses. 😂

CNN Kaitlin Collins already making the story about herself and how she had to rush to the WH. Nice dress though.

Yep the CBS guy in his tux and noted how he “rushed” to the office

One Thing That Occurred To Me As I Listened To President Trump Speak; When The Correspondents Dinner Is Rescheduled EVERY Member Of The Media Who Chose To Boycott Tonights Event Will Have A Golden Opportunity To Make It A Priority To BE THERE Next Time.

Stop All Pettiness Concerning President Trump And His Administration. Recognize The Importance Of Standing Up, In Solidarity, With Millions of Americans On The Issue Of FREE SPEECH. Never Forget The First Amendment Is What Protects Our Freedoms Under The Constitution.

The Time To Act Is NOW.

Thanks, Stone, for breaking this news. However much people dislike the press and the America Left, it is not enough.

Again, there is a lot of precedence for this current period. It was in the mid 1800s. Mark Levine had the whole story tonight on his show. Check out his story which focused on "The Enemy Within". This phrase comes from Abraham Lincoln in 1838 at a speech called "The Lyceum Address" which was about how certain Democrat party extremists were acting out against black people and ignoring the law and Constitution. That is a distant echo of our current times. Here are all the details of this speech and the era: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abraham_Lincoln%27s_Lyceum_address

Shooter tonight identified as Cole Tomas Allen of Torrance, California. Per the New York Post's Karol Markowicz.

Was Teacher of the Year. Reportedly.

Paul Scofield's avatar

Great. We'll see if Randi Weingarten claims this paragon of academics as one of her own.

Teacher of the Month. He also liked playing Red Rover at recess

Just down the street from me. Sigh.

Ugh. Well I live in a certain state where we have had our share of assassination types, too. Happily, not yet the President. So I an appreciate where you are coming from.

All a couple days after the NYT gave a podcaster emphasis who expressed his “understanding” of the online glee after the killing of an insurance executive…

Could today’s NYT hate-filled headlines inspire violence?

“Trump, Iran's Newest Hostage The president is buried in the graveyard of vanity.”

“Here's How Trump Can Get Us Out of the Mess in Iran

To salvage a decent peace with Iran, President Trump must learn the lessons of his war.”

“There Is Much More to Pope vs. President Than Meets the Eye; What fighting an unjust war really means.”

“The damage President Trump has inflicted on the United States and the world is so enormous and wide-ranging that it is hard to grasp.”

The New York Times sits at the top of the scrap heap of disgraced and dishonest corporate media.

Thanks Shasha, I wasn't watching but now I know. Disturbing is an understatement.

Patrick Wahl's avatar

Taking a trip through X and you see what a bunch of deranged people make up the left. Already calling it staged, or sorry it wasn't successful. Really, the most vile people.

Mark Emerson's avatar

CNN making themselves the story. Predicted.

JG's avatar

I can’t help but wonder if the secret service is compromised

David Klein's avatar

They have had years of incompetence, but in the last two years it’s been turned up to 11. Personally I think it’s a little of both.

Oakley's avatar

I've wondered that as well...

11-years of the most vile and deranged hatred spewed by politicians, by unelected bureaucrats, by media and by podcasters towards Trump — a non-politician who has won the White House and the Congress twice only because of Democracy — has now inspired five assassins, one shooting him just missing his head, one traveling across the country coming for Kavanaugh, one killing Charlie Kirk and two others who nearly got to Trump,

Is this the America the Democrats really want? When will they ever speak against this hatred?
